- Tuberville should sit on a cactus.
  
  The fact that Alabama elected a former football coach to the senate is so on brand for the state it hurts. Guy’s a moron
I was stationed at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama and that place has a crack problem. The old boys and soldiers smoke that shit. It’s crazy.
- See, I don't believe you.
  If you'd said meth or oxy I would have no doubt.
- Maybe crack is the secret ingredient for The Dome.
  For the unititiated, there is a conspiracy theory is that Redstone has a weather control program called the dome and the explosions are them doing their thing to make sure severe weather always misses the arsenal.

Good. It was moronic to place it in Alabama, and it was only there for political reasons. Everyone who actually works in Space Command wanted it in Colorado.
Guess we won't go into our sister planet.
Good choice!
- You’re thinking of the Space Force.
  SPACECOM is a unified command that has its origins in the 1980s. It is entirely necessary and handles real things including military satellites and missile defense.
- A) You're thinking of Space Force, not SPACECOM.
  B) Space Force isn't anything new. It is doing the same projects it was doing under the Air Force, with the same budget it had under the Air Force, with mostly the same officers/leadership it had under the Air Force.
  C) You can debate about whether a trillion dollar defense industry is ridiculous. That's valid. But if you assume we need a defense industry that large, then the work the Space Force does (again, which hasn't changed since it was the Air Force) is absolutely necessary in the modern era.
